3 Must-see viewpoints to enjoy Lanzarote

Lanzarote is an island full of unique landscapes and breathtaking views that will make you feel in another world. To make the most of its natural beauty, here we recommend three unmissable viewpoints:

  1. Mirador del Río: Designed by the Lanzarote artist César Manrique, this viewpoint offers a spectacular view of La Graciosa and the Chinijo archipelago. Located at the top of the Famara cliff, 475 metres above sea level, it is the perfect place to admire the blue tones of the ocean contrasting with the volcanic landscape of the island. The combination of architecture and nature makes it a must-see.
  2. Mirador de Las Nieves: Situated on the highest point of Lanzarote, in the Famara Massif, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the whole island, from the cliffs to the golden beaches. On clear days, you can see the coast of Africa. This viewpoint is ideal for those looking for a quiet experience away from the crowds.
  3. Mirador de Femés: Located in the small village of Femés, this viewpoint offers a unique view of the south of Lanzarote and the area of Playa Blanca. It is a perfect place to enjoy the sunset while watching the volcanic landscape change colour with the light.

These viewpoints will allow you to capture the volcanic and magical essence of Lanzarote from above.
